Chapter 641: Danzo's Mouth Skills
At this moment, in the No. 2 Ninja World, in the office of the Hokage of Konoha Village.
The young Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was speeding up the handling of government affairs, while the No. 2 Senju Tobirama next to him was lying in a rocking chair behind Sarutobi to rest.
In the last war, in order to avoid Madara's illusion, No. 2 Tobirama blinded his own eyes.
Although it was transplanted and repaired after returning to the village, it is not as good as the original one.
Tobirama also needs to rest and adapt for a while.
Therefore, the government affairs handling work during this period was naturally handed over to Sarutobi.
Although Sarutobi will face big problems in the future, the future has already changed.
Tobirama also understood that his most proud disciple from the next generation, Minato, had not yet been born.
The current heirs, except Jing, all have some shortcomings to varying degrees;
But even if there are shortcomings, it is not a good idea to directly abolish Sarutobi and re-establish Kagami as Hokage!
After all, their family had just suffered heavy damage from Uchiha Madara. Although it was not the fault of the Uchiha clan in the village, it was inevitably affected.
Pushing Jing to the position of Hokage at this time is like roasting him on the fire.
I'm afraid that even without Madara's attack, Konoha Village itself might fall apart.
The reason why Sarutobi was able to take the position was not only because of Tobirama's appointment, but also because he represented the interests of a large part of the Konohagakure clan.
Besides, Sarutobi himself did nothing wrong.
During this period of time, except for his lack of strength, his performance in other aspects very much met the requirements of the Hokage.
There is no reason for me to abolish the eldest and establish the youngest.
Besides, Sarutobi has grown a lot visibly recently.
It's time to try to trust his good disciple Sarutobi.
"teacher?"
"what's up?"
"The chaos in the Sand Village has come to an end." Sarutobi looked at the latest information sent by the undercover agent in the Sand Village with a look of joy on his face.
"Oh?"
"It is said that Chiyo suppressed the rebellion of Sand Village and successfully inherited the position of the Third Kazekage!"
"Oh? The girl who is about your age?"
"Yes."
"Her ability is OK, but her qualifications are lacking. Does the Sand Village have no talent at all? They actually let her succeed to the throne..."
Tobirama showed a bit of amusement, wondering how Chiyo managed to sit on it?
If the Second Kazekage Shamon were still alive, he would be able to suppress internal opinions and ensure Chiyo's succession to the throne.
Unfortunately, he had died under Madara's "Chibaku Tensei Meteorite".
Without the suppression and support of the previous generation, it would be difficult for a young girl in her early 20s to subdue all the covetous people in the village.
After all, the environment and methods in the Sand Village are worse, and the power struggle is more cruel.
Power is the most tempting poison wherever it is.
Just in Konoha, how many problems have arisen and how many people have been killed surrounding the position of Hokage?
For example, if Sarutobi Hiruzen succeeded to the throne this time, without the support of the Uzumaki clan, the Sarutobi clan, the Shimura clan, the Akimichi clan, etc.
Even if Sarutobi returned with the Second Hokage's last wishes, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on to the position of Hokage.
At the very least, civil unrest will break out...
Compared with the Sand Village, it is indeed rare that Chiyo was able to quickly suppress the civil strife and secure the position of Kazekage.
Although Tobirama no longer cares much about the Sand Village, he still has basic curiosity.
"What exactly happened?"
"This is a secret report sent back by Danzo. It contains the reasons."
Sarutobi Hiruzen handed a decrypted piece of information to Tobirama; when Tobirama took a look, he understood the reason.
After the last war.
Two-thirds of the Sand Village's main force of tens of thousands were wiped out.
Those who escaped alive were also terrified.
Apart from its population and heritage, the Sand Village was reduced to the bottom of the five largest villages almost overnight.
They are almost sitting at the same table with Takinoshi Village, Kusanagi Village and the like.
Oh!
The Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village were destroyed long ago, and now there are actually only three families left: Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure.
So.
During this period, the Sand Village was in chaos, and various forces were coveting the position of Kazekage.
The second generation Kazekage Rasa seemed to have anticipated this, or had made plans for the worst.
While passing the throne to Chiyo in advance, he also left behind a group of loyal Anbu ninjas, some high-level forces of the Shamon faction, and many young ninjas at the bottom... all chose to support Chiyo.
In normal times, this force is naturally nothing.
But at this moment when the Sand Village is extremely weak, it is enough to affect the balance of victory!
Besides.
Although Chiyo herself had no intention of killing, she could not resist Danzo's instigation and temptation!
Although he is still very young, Danzo's tongue skills have already reached the pinnacle. How could a master of wind jutsu who can blow wind jutsu out of flowers have bad oral skills?
Under the instigation of Danzo's ventriloquism, for the overall interests of the entire Sand Village.
Chiyo had to make a painful decision and launched a surprise attack and suppression on all the rebel forces!
You know, Chiyo's camp is not weak.
In the current Sand Village, apart from the one Jinchūriki, Bunfuku, there is no other decent Kage-level person.
As elite jonin, Chiyo and Danzo are already the top fighting forces in the Sand Village.
It's like picking a general from a group of dwarfs.
Coupled with the righteousness of the situation and the silent attack, it is not surprising that the remaining opposition forces can be quickly suppressed.
...
After the success, Chiyo successfully took the throne of Kazekage
Naturally, Danzo's great contribution has not been forgotten.
Although due to pressure from the whole village, Danzo could not become the Kazekage advisor in one step.
But Chiyo’s reward was not small either.
With a wave of his hand, he let Danzo take over the entire Sand Village Ninja Academy and became the powerful Minister of Education!
Not only did he have the power to educate the next generation of Sand Village ninjas, he also gained a portion of the highest political power in the Sand Village.
Although in the highest meeting of the Sand Village, Danzo, as a traitor, has little influence.
But he can still whisper in Chiyo's ears!
And as long as the suggestions are 'reasonable', the new young Third Kazekage is really willing to listen to Danzo's suggestions!
This multiplied Danzo's power exponentially, almost comparable to that of the Kazekage's advisor.
'The Art of Following the Dragon' is also applicable in the Sand Village!
In fact, many Sand Ninjas have been secretly spreading rumors that the traitor ninja from Konoha, Danzo Shimura, is the man behind the new Kazekage!
This of course caused dissatisfaction among some Sand Ninjas.
pity.
Danzo's strength was there, and he easily overwhelmed all his opponents with his superb kunai techniques.
His ventriloquism is not something he can perform casually. Only those who bear the name of Kage are worthy of Danzo's use of his ventriloquism.
The rest of them are only worthy of eating his kunai!
He has strong personal strength, and with the support of Kazekage Chiyo, and the life-saving grace of Kazekage advisor Ebizo...even the strongest elder of the Sand Village, Bunfuku, did not object.
Danzo naturally got what he wished for and secured the position of minister, becoming one of the powerful senior officials in the Sand Village.
...
"I see!"
"Has Danzo become a high-ranking official in the Sand Village?"
"This job is unexpectedly beautiful!"
"But how did he manage to get the new Kazekage named Chiyo? How could he gain such trust just by saving his life?"
"It's quite interesting..."
Tobirama read Danzo's secret report, feeling somewhat emotional and full of doubts.
With his clever brain that lacks a single thread, he naturally cannot understand the interference of love between men and women in rational decision-making.
The only thing we can understand is that Danzo has extraordinary skills.
Using inhuman means, he successfully gained the complete trust of the new Kazekage, which allowed him to run rampant in the Sand Village and do whatever he wanted.
"Teacher, Danzo has done a great job!"
"In such a short time, he has gone undercover in the upper echelons of the Sand Village and has taken control of the entire Ninja Academy!"
"This is an unprecedented feat and a huge achievement!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was happy for Danzo from the bottom of his heart.
The feelings and friendship between them are now very pure, at least not mixed with much power disputes.
So Sarutobi was really happy about Danzo's achievement.
"That's really good! I didn't expect him to be so efficient. He has come this far in just a few months."
Tobirama didn't really expect Danzo to succeed at the beginning, he just assigned him a difficult task in order to continue to train Danzo.
Lest he grow crooked again.
So much so that he didn't expect it.
The casual chess game actually worked, and the effect was surprisingly good!
"Teacher, Danzo asked us if it's time to close the net?"
"He said that he has mastered all the defense maps and weaknesses of the Sand Village. As long as he finds the right time to launch a surprise attack, he can cooperate with Konoha and easily take down the entire Sand Village!"
Sarutobi continued to be excited, and he also felt that this proposal had a high chance of success.
After all, the Sand Village is really extremely weak now, and its health bar has been reduced by more than 70%.
This is a great opportunity to kill him while he is ill!
Even Sarutobi began to think about what would happen if he succeeded in destroying the Sand Village this time.
Danzo who makes the first contribution will definitely receive a huge reward.
And as the Hokage, what should I reward him with?
It’s so hard to imagine!
"Tsk! He has a nice idea."
Tobirama naturally saw Danzo's proposal to "close the net" in the secret report.
He certainly knew that the plan had a very high success rate.
But it is clear that both Danzo and Sarutobi overlooked other factors.
"Not yet. Now is not the time to destroy the Sand Village. Let Danzo continue to go undercover."
"Ah? Teacher, why?"
"madness!"
"Don't you think about it? If I really want to destroy the Sand Village without any mistakes, especially to capture the Sand Village's one-tailed Jinchuriki, I must go there myself and bring enough elite troops."
"But what if that beast Madara and the Hidden Mist Village take the opportunity to attack our village? What should we do then?"
"Can you stop it?"
"Is it worth risking our own village for a mere Sand Village?"
Tobirama scolded Sarutobi.
He did not deny Danzo's proposal; but now in Tobirama's eyes, it was obvious that Uchiha Madara and the Hidden Mist Village posed a greater threat.
An insignificant ally, the Sand Village, who can be eaten at any time.
But don't be greedy for momentary pleasure and put yourself in danger.
That's the stupidest thing.
"Teacher, you are right! But...if Uchiha Madara and the Hidden Mist Village really come to attack, it seems that it will make little difference whether you are there or not?" Sarutobi asked blankly, with sincerity in his eyes.
"Monkey!!! Are you itching for trouble?!"
Tobirama was furious, his anger rose immediately, and a long water whip instantly condensed in his hand.
Apparently, it was the previous practices that made Tobirama addicted to the 'whip education'.
